Product description

From the author

Check out this complete set designed to help introduce, practice, and test the "Words to Know" from the first week of each unit (1-6) from the McGraw-Hill Reading Wonders curriculum for Grade 3.

What's included in the file:

- Vocabulary Lists These lists have each word, its meaning, its part of speech, and a sample sentence using the word.

- Vocabulary Tests These tests have two parts:

Part 1: Vocabulary Words. There are blank spaces where students can write the vocabulary words based on either the definitions provided or the words themselves.

Part 2: Complete the Sentences. In this part, students fill in the missing word(s) to finish the sentence.

- Word Searches Here's a fun way to practice all the vocabulary words. Simply print out the worksheets and let your students have a good time while learning these words on their own!

- Answer Keys The answers to both parts of the vocabulary test are provided on this page. Just remember to print only pages 1–3 of each unit PDF to avoid including the answer keys.

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Students will define and correctly use eight grade-3 vocabulary words per unit in context.

  • Students will complete sentences by selecting the correct vocabulary word from a word list.

  • Students will locate vocabulary words in a word search using definition clues rather than the words themselves.

Teaching tips

  • Introduce the word, part of speech and example sentence before the cloze page and definition-clued search. Each unit has four pages; print pages 1–3 of each file for students.

  • For Unit 2, define awkward as uneasy or lacking coordination rather than “in an uneasy way.” Rewrite sentence 5 as “I made an ___ to score a point” to match the noun attempt.

  • For Unit 6, read alarmed as “made to feel frightened” and possess as “own or have.”

Skills covered

  • Vocabulary acquisition — students learn 48 words (eight per unit) with definitions, parts of speech, and example sentences.

  • Cloze sentence completion — students select and write the correct vocabulary word to complete eight sentences per unit.

  • Definition-based word search — students locate vocabulary words in a puzzle grid using definition clues instead of the word itself.
